Procedure
A solution of ethyl N-acetylglycinate (98%, 7.41 g, 50.0 mmol) and 1-methyl-1H-imidazole (99%, 4.81 mL, 60.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was cooled to −45° C. and treated with 2-methylbenzoyl chloride (99%, 6.59 mL, 50.0 mmol). The reaction was stirred at −45° C. for 10 minutes. Titanium(IV) chloride (19.2 mL, 175 mmol) was added, followed by tri-n-butylamine (98%, 48.6 mL, 200 mmol), and stirring was continued at the same temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with diethyl ether; the combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel chromatography (Eluents: 1:5 ethyl acetate/heptane followed by 1:2 ethyl acetate/heptane) afforded the product. Yield: 6.00 g, 22.8 mmol, 46%.
